VIDEOCASTS OF OITE EVENTS

A note to our colleagues outside the NIH: These presentations were developed for an audience of NIH trainees.  Sometimes they will contain information that is very specific to trainees at the NIH.  In general, however, we believe that you will find most of the information helpful wherever you are working.
